Why do many people say that Japan is a tourist destination in winter?

As a neighbor of China, Japanese tourism is very developed. Due to the recent easing of relations with China and good travel experience, it has become the first choice destination for many overseas tourists. Although the temperature in winter in Japan is lower, Japan in winter is more charming.

What are the highlights of winter tourism in Japan? Let's explain it in detail.

Snow-watching tour

Japan in winter is like the world in a picture book. Snow makes it romantic, and in winter, even the name of Hokkaido seems more legendary. There are two places where I must go to Japan to enjoy the snow in winter.

World Heritage-"Hezhang" Village Shirakawa

Compared with the tourist circle, Shirakawa Township has long been famous. In fact, the world cultural heritage makes strange buildings look like hands crossed, so it is called "hands crossed" village. In order to cope with the heavy snow in this area, the buildings in Shirakawa are generally strong and steep, which can make the snowfall slide smoothly. Abundant snowfall, distinctive buildings and warm lighting at night give people a feeling of peace of mind, which makes them unique. In many people's minds, this is a fairy tale village that must be visited for a lifetime.

A desolate harbor-Xiaozun

Otaru is located in the west of Hokkaido, facing Ishikari Bay. In the past, it was an important foreign port of Hokkaido and also known as "Wall Street in the North". The glorious history has laid a solid foundation for Otaru's brilliant tourism. It is through the use of abandoned warehouses and other public facilities that Xiaozun has developed from a small commercial port that has passed away into a tourist town and a romantic city.

Otaru is the location of love letters, and its temperament is as calm and quiet as lovers. Walking into Otaru in winter is like walking into the love world of snow. Romantic Otaru Canal, exquisite glass shop, fairy-tale music box hall, dessert shop and sushi shop emerge inadvertently.

Mt.Tengu behind Otaru is the commanding height here. When you board Mt.Tengu, you can see the beautiful scenery of Otaru from a distance. Under the starlight, the town is brightly lit, and the romantic life originated from art is there. It is also known as the three night scenes of Hokkaido with the night scenes of Hakodate Mountain and Sapporo in Wuhua Mountain.

Ski trip

Because the eastern part of Japan is close to the Pacific Ocean, influenced by the trade winds, its precipitation is very rich, which has created many natural ski resorts here.

There are many high-quality ski resorts in Hokkaido, Japan, among which Furano Ski Resort in central Hokkaido, Xilele Ski Resort near Sapporo and Liushoudu Ski Resort near Toyako are the most famous.

The most beautiful scenery-Fuliangye Ski Resort

Summer is a colorful sea of flowers, and winter is the best view of Fuliangye Ski Resort. There are romantic pink snow, rich and varied junior, middle and professional trails suitable for all ages, and it is also a holiday destination for the Japanese royal family. Coupled with the fairytale world of snow and ice in Furano, a forest manual experience workshop-Lening Terrace-is inspired by an elf character of 15cm who lives in a big forest in Japanese writer So Kuramoto's novels, making it a romantic ski resort and the best place to experience the beautiful scenery in winter.

Pure natural snowy road-Xilele ski resort

Thanks to the abundant snowfall in the local area, Schiller Ski Resort has brought authentic natural ski trails to tourists, and it is also one of the few snow powder shrines in the world.

The largest-Liushoudu Ski Resort

As the largest ski resort in Hokkaido, Liushoudu Ski Resort is the most worthwhile "tree line". It shuttles through Jyukai where snowflakes are hanging, as if it had become a reindeer flying on the ice sheet, which fascinated countless ice and snow lovers.

Hot spring tourism

It can be said that soaking in warm hot springs in cold winter is very arbitrary. Hot springs in Japan are very famous, and some people even go to Japan to soak in hot springs directly. The hot springs I want to recommend to you today have their own characteristics, which will definitely bring you a different experience.

Antique price is close to the people-a crane's long journey to Yeyu

Snow and ancient buildings complement each other here, and operators don't have too many redundant facilities, so the original ecological hot spring nutrients and the price of being close to the people can be guaranteed here. Every winter, thick snow will cover the surrounding area, leaving only hot springs and warmth to attract tourists.

Acidic sulfur spring-jinriguan

Japan's first acidic sulfur spring with natural wood as raw material is famous in the world, and its health benefits are recognized. Anyway, it's a pleasure to see the Xinyue Plateau from the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1800 meters.

A clean and white world-Takino Yu in the bubble

There is milky hot spring water here, and the recuperation effect is excellent. Under the quiet night sky, you can enjoy the white hot springs and white snow quietly, which is why many tourists come here.

Changes with each passing day-Aoguinv Hot Springs

Hidden in the mountains, it is different all year round, but winter is the most romantic. There are five kinds of springs with different qualities, and the quality and color of hot springs are different every day.
